I think it is a good idea in theory, but these silly people are going do two things that will destroy a system that is already in place:
1. Buy the milk from places where it was usually donated, and then destroy most of its healthy properties by pasteurizing it like cow's milk. What idiot thought that up?
2. Sell it back to hospitals.
Okay, weren't the hospitals already getting donations from the milk banks?

And the firm wants to analyse the different components of breast milk - there are more than 100,000 although scientists only know what a few thousand do - to see if breast milk therapies can treat disease common to newborn babies. |
